Passive smoking may pose a different risk to African American children than their white counterparts, US research suggests.

The study, featured in the journal Chest, examined 220 children with asthma exposed to cigarette smoke. More than half were black. The researchers measured levels of cotinine, a substance produced by the body as it metabolises nicotine. The black children showed significantly higher levels than the white children.

That's the shining point of any research leading to "racial" differences, the implications. That's why you won't hear the media trumpeting differences in "athleticism" between blacks and whites--most know that there are striking differences. As an example, most Olympic powerlifters and shotputters are white and most sprinters are black. The problem for the FILTH is that if you accept that then this leaves open the possibility there might be "intellectual" differences also and not just from the time worn "cultural bias" nonsense. Like I always bring up--"I never hear the Asians complaining about cultural bias on standardized tests!"
